Copa Airlines is not responsible for the disappearance or loss of the following items:

Copa Airlines' liability is regulated by the Montreal and Warsaw Conventions. As a result, we recommend that you notify your insurance company of the problems with your baggage. If you obtained insurance prior to traveling, they will take care of resolving this problem with the airline company.

For international trips to which the Warsaw Convention applies, the liability of Copa Airlines is limited to approximately US $9.07 per pound (0.45 kg), up to a maximum of US $640 per documented piece of baggage and US $400 per passenger for non-documented baggage.

For international trips to which the Montreal Convention applies (including domestic legs of international flights), the liability of Copa Airlines is limited to approximately 1,131 SDR (special drawing rights) per client, for both documented and undocumented baggage. Passengers may consult current exchange rates online at www.imf.org
